The » large a sumof course materially helped t in speculative shares, and New York had ng business and an abundant pros- perity unt call came from the country for a return of the money. The Journal of Commerce sa only was the whole $200,000,000 of outside | required for moving the crops, but a consid- wm more, and thus the stringency of the | 2 time was a very real one indeed. | New York, however, is not alone in profiting by the Jesson of last fall. The bankers of the West and | the So have not made such Jarge loans to New York they did lzst year. They have reserved something for the coming demnand, and as a conse- quence New York will not be called upon to make | such advances as were required when the stringency | occurred. George Gould, whorecently made an ex- tensive tour through the West, stated on his return | home that there is no monetary shortage in the ter- | ritory he visited. He is quoted as saying: “The| Western banks are holding their balances in their | own vauits, and they will not have to draw on New | York to move crops. From what I saw I believe it | will be some time before the West will have to draw on New York for money.” All these things go far to feassure the country and allay any feeling there might be of alarm that we are going to have a repetition of the danger so narrowly escaped in the past. Still it is not at all likely that | the preparations for the coming demand will be over- Our currency has but little elasticity, and it is | certain the crops of the year are going to be very large. Prices are high and business is booming. There will be needed 2 good deal of money in the West and South this fall, and despite all the precau- tions so wisely takena by both the city and the coun- try bankers we may hzve another demonstration be- fore Congress meets of the necessity for currency reform and the enactmient of a new banking law. In the meantime the country may be congratu- ‘ated on the check given to the floating of specula- tive stocks. It will be just as well for the boomers cf Wall street to take a holiday and a breathing spell. We are in no danger of a stringency, but all the same we are not yet out of the woods. I .

ANY countries offer examples of the kind of M men called desperadoes. They are invariably cruel cowards. They have a certain cunning which takes advantage of ambush, of surprise, of the panic which is caused by unexpected yiolence. But under all circumstances they consider their own safety first, and have in them none of that stuff which makes a really brave man entirely forget him- self in the discharge of a duty, or in rendering a dangerous service to others. In every community there is a class of thoughtless people who make heroes of these cowardly wretches. They secretly sympathize with them, and regard their While these des- peradoes are more common in the West, they are not unknown in the East. Curtis, the railway rob- ber who jumped from a train on the New \'ork‘ Central, which he had robbed, and mounted an en-| gine, which he steered up and down the track, using | it as a moving fortress from which to shoot atl his pursuers, was the king of his vile class in the East In the West we have had Evans and the Son~‘ tags, a crowd of cowards who were transformed hy; journalism into heroes of romance, and | whose crimes were encouraged by many people who | put their pictures in the places of honor in their | homes, and by newspapers that derided and berated | | the officers of the law who risked their lives in at- tempts to enforce the law. Tracy, the Oregon out- law, was a heroic figure in the same class of diseased distorted minds, as was his imitator, the vil-| lain McKinney, who has just met his deserts at | Bakersficld. They were cowards all. and 3 | In them was not a single | of all right-minded people. Lombroso and other investigators of the stigmata of crime and degeneracy | have made it plain that the normal mind cannot en- | of these degenerates. They are not criminal on sud- | den impulse, or by reason of any pressure of neces- sity. They choose crime because it seems to them just such a means of existence as virtue and up-| rightness appear to be to the moral and upright. | It is idle to talk of reforming them. There is no | material in them upon which to work. Their dis-| torted view does not include any of the good motives to correct life. Grant that the conclusions of Lombroso point to e of a criminal diathesis, in the nature of moral disease, society has no reason to look upon these desperadoes with any other feeling They are incurable.

The Atlanta Constitution in reviewing the develop- “As yet, of of silk in the Southern States. ment of the industry in Georgia say can doubt that it i$ a sure start. One silk company— that of which Mr. Z. B. Magid is president and man- ager—has planted 3000 acres near Tallulah Falls to mulberry trees, and the farmers of the vicinity are following its example. The colony of Italian seri- far planted 25,000 mulberry trees, and this winter will plant many more. Other colonies are to settle in the mountain counties of the State and it is said silk will be manufactured on an extensive scale in Georgia in a very short time.” Italian colonists, however, are not the only workers in Georgia who are trying to build up the industry, though they have gone about it in the most intelli- gent and systematic way. A considerable number of native farmers are trying it and women are taking to it with a good deal of enthusiasm. The Georgians, in fact, have developed so much interest in the indus- try that they are complaining against the Govern- ment for establishing the sericultural distributing sta- tion in South Carolina instead of in Georgia. It is their intention to urge the Government to establish a similar plant in the Georgia mountains as a central station for the whole mountain region, and it is not unlikely the request will be grantefl. It appears from these reports that the Government | of food. | ers of Montana. FRANCISCO CALL ESDAY, APRIL 2 1903 is now making serious efforts to promote the pro- duction of raw silk in the United States, and, that being so, the advantages of California for the indus- try should be pressed upon the attention of the Ag- ricultural Department. It is true we have not the cheap labor of the South, but our labor, by reason of its superior intelligence, can doubtless more than off- set the low wages paid in the South. It is to be noted, moreover, that the production of raw silk is essentially a side industry and is not carried on by itself. Persons engaged in other occupations can un- dertake it and it can be made to add quite a com- fortable increase to the family revenues without inter- fering with the ordinary work of the wage-earners of the household. An American officer has made the interesting dis- covery that in the southern part of China there are | communities of Chinese which love to fight for the | sake of fighting. If this officer will indulge his privi- | lege of reflection for a few minutes he will probably conclude that with the influx of murderous Euro- | peans into Southern China the natives have no al- ternative, but must fight or die. EUROPE'S FOOD SUPPLY. NOTHER commission, with the Prince of A Wales as a member, has been appointed to inquire into the safety of England’s food | supply in a time of war. Countries in Continental Europe have reason for making a similar investiga- | tion. Not many years ago, when a nation desired to | make war, it was a question of money. If the money- lenders refused to take its bonds it must forego the | luxury of war and be at peace. Now it is a question | States for their food supply that they must have a| navy strong enough to protect its importation, or they must let war alone. Great Britain has a sur- | passingly strong navy but she imports more than | o per cent of her food supply, and her warships | would be kept busy in.a war with another naval | power to keep her people from starving. | Our primacy as a producer of foodstuffs gives to the United States a position of peculiar power. Not only in food but in other production necessary to other nations in war and peace, we measurably con- | trol the destinies of the world. Both England and Germany have found it necessary to resort to our market for 2 supply of mule purposes, and for the dry forage to maintain the | animals they buy.

This is as true as to Asia as it is to Europe. None of the Western nations can long maintain forces necessary to absolutely overrun China unless we supply them, for the population of that country has already outgrown its food supply and has to s people from famine. | If brought to their highest production it is doubt-! ful whether the farm lands of the B in one year, produce a food supply sufficient for more than. Seven months. Much of the farming area is non-producing now, and depend cn us to save sh Isles can, more is being obsoleted every year, while in the United States more land is annually brought under tillage, and we are still far from forcing any considerable portion of our agri-| cultural area to its highest capacity by farming. i While an English Royal Commission is meeting ml consider the food supply of that country anotherr Royal Commission is on its way to the United States | intensive | to make a profound study of our food-producing ca- | pacity, our methods of developing it, and its primi It is apparent that the active or passive tive cost | alliances of the future open to the United States will | be not for the sake of our military strength, but be- | cause we can feed onrselves and the world | Former liance because of the strength armies. nations sought offensive and defensive al of their aggregated Now it is the American farmer and not the soldier who is sought as an ally by the other great powers.

Manufacturers of patent medicines in New \1'nrk1 have had a practice of advertising them by leaving a few ds samples at the doors of residences, but it is | likely they will be more careful in future, for'a small boy recently followed an agent around and picked up the pills he left and ate them. The boy died, and the firm is to be indicted for careless distribution of powerful drugs. It might be well for other American cities to forbid that manner of advertising medicines without waiting for a lesson like that in New York. i The Registrar General of Ireland reports a rapid increase of cancer among the peasants and attributes it largely to the eating of pork. Dr. Hutchinson of London, who has been investigating leprosy in In- dia, says the disease is most common among fish- eaters. It is now advisable to eat beef or chicken un- til the next doctor is heard from. Down in West Virginia a man who killed one opponent and wounded another in a bar-room brawl was indicted by the Grand Jury for carrying con- cealed weapons.
